| Bio: | "We do not want merely to see beauty . . . We want something else which can hardly be put into words - to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it." (C.S. Lewis, Transposition and Other Addresses, 1949) "Human beings want God. [They] want union with God: they want to get 'in' God, as Jesus prays in John 17:21. [...] We human beings want God even when we think that what we really want is a green valley, or a good time from our past, or a loved one. Of course we do want these things and persons, but we also want what lies behind them. Our 'inconsolable secret,' says C.S. Lewis, is that we are full of yearnings, sometimes shy and sometimes passionate, that point us beyond the things of the earth to the ultimate reality of God."
